    My habit of rooting for the underdogs will ruin any chance I have of winning in this thing.

    You'll have weeks where it will work though.

    Many of you picked Penn St vs Akron for 1 point, that means you have the lowest confidence that Penn will beat Akron. That seems strange since Penn st is highly likely to win. My guess is you may have thought the numbers are rankings and not points. If you wanted it to be a high confidence pick, thus getting you the most points, you need to pick it at 10. The numbers are the points not rankings.

    It's not to late to change picks, as you can change your mind until the game starts.

    Crap! I thought it was order of confidence like 1 was most confident

    When they reordered how they did it, the same thing happened to me in my first game. But you can still change your other picks order. It makes it seem like 10 is the lowest rank but it's really the most points/highest confidence.

    Crap, I had them in positioned as 1 being most confident. I fixed what I could. Thanks for the heads up

    I already don't like this week...

    So much for having Alabama on their every week for an easy pick to put your #10 confidence on. Should be some good match ups this weekend.

    That's why I like the ESPN one, it's harder because they pick more even team match-ups.

    @zac1644 here is your tag
    I assumed you didn't know a lick about football since that is the team you choose to stand behind

    you mean the team that has TWO Natty's since your last SHARED one? ;) that team?? or the team that's has 5 straight W's against TTUN and 13 of the last 15? Is that the team you're referring to @lstrat115

    don't get too cocky.... have you seen the defensive on TTUN ?

    they are really, really good.

    and to be fair, that OSU / TTUN game last year was dominated by the Blue

    Nothing cocky about it. I've seen the defense that they replaced 10 of 11 starters with. They looked great against Florida no doubt, but this is nothing new for *ichigan. They always find replacements that are just as good if not better than the season prior. Same can be said for all the major programs in the country.

    dominated??? uhhh what? care to explain that one to me?

    oh yeah TTUN worked the Bucks for 3 quarters.... I know, don't fumble on the goal line, don't throw a stupid interception.

    btw.... I'm not a TTUN fan & I understand the passion of Buckeye football.

    I just know what I saw last year and it was scary for quite a while.

    I also attended last years Fiesta Bowl.... (ugh) I'm thinking it might have been a good thing in the long run. It was a wake-up call for the offense.

    It must be nice playing in a cupcake conference against no real teams most of the season every year. It's a good way to keep your players fresh, I guess.

    Stats say otherwise my friend. I'm not going to say that tOSU dominated in fact I don't think they did but I'd hardly say that scUM did either. 3 turnovers are killer and the fact that they couldn't stop the bucks from running the ball at all...
